The Girls Race in North Pole

This week, North Pole High School hosted the real first track meet of the season (guess last week was a mini-meet.) It was cold and windy both days and not much snow as melted since last weekend. On Friday, Megan participated in the 3200 meter run. Megan is in the middle of the picture, one of the Lathrop girls starting her watch.

Megan ended up placing 3rd in a time of 13:03.

On Saturday, Heather was the anchor for the 4X800 meter relay. Her team had given her quite a lead which was good as she was supposed to take it easy since she now as a cold. But of course, she took off flying and started lapping people. Here she is on her 1st lap.

and finishing her 1st lap....her split was either 2:29 or 2:30.

In between races, all were trying to keep warm. Megan and her friends have several blankets, one I got from Nanna via her friend Trizah. (Thanks!!!)

Megan finishing......she had to sprint with the two West Valley girls for the finish. She did it!!! coming in 5th overall with a time of 5:51.

I had to leave the track early and missed the girls racing in the 4X400 meter relays. Heather was on Lathrop Team A which came in first while Megan was on Team B placing 2nd but may have been disqualifed. Next weekend the girls race in Palmer and than the following races through State will all be at the Lathrop track.
